A gothic oil painting in dark romantic surrealism, presented as a Victorian celestial poster. At the top of the image, include a decorated title block with the words “The Candle That Dreamed of Stars”, styled in an ornate serif font. Beneath the title, add the epigraph: “It burned for a thousand years before anyone noticed it was dreaming.” The text is framed in antique scrollwork with subtle celestial motifs. The scene unfolds in a vast, silent chamber deep inside a hollowed asteroid-temple. The floor is made of cracked dark stone, scattered with melted candle stubs and faded star maps. At the center stands an immense candle enclosed in a tall glass cylinder — its flame is not fire, but a swirling point of soft starlight. It casts shifting constellations on the high stone dome above. In the foreground, a kneeling figure in dark robes gazes at the candle with reverence. The figure’s face is not visible — a solitary worshipper or silent keeper. In the far background, near a curved archway in the stone, stands the same mysterious woman from The Witness of the Last Eclipse. Her long dark cloak, embroidered with star maps, drapes elegantly as she watches the scene in silence. Her face remains veiled, and the candlelight reflects off her mirrored garment faintly. Above her, a section of the chamber’s domed ceiling is partially shattered, revealing deep space beyond. Through this aperture, a trail of faint constellations winds across the sky — echoing the patterns projected by the candle. The mood is spiritual, quiet, and filled with ancient mystery — a sacred place where memory and light still endure in the cold silence of the stars. Style: oil painting, Victorian gothic cosmic surrealism, painterly chiaroscuro, fine texture detail, gritty tone, subtle golds, dark blues, obsidian, and starlight white.
A fantasy art illustration is composed of a dark cave interior with two robed figures, one kneeling with their back to the viewer and one standing in an arched alcove with a long, flowing garment adorned with stars. The center features a giant candle enclosed in a glass cylinder, emitting a bright, star-like glow. The cave ceiling and walls are dark, rocky, and adorned with numerous glowing stars connected by subtle lines, simulating constellations. Scattered across the floor are numerous lit small candles and ancient-looking papers or scrolls. The entire scene is framed by an ornate, dark gold border with celestial motifs like a crescent moon, stars, and swirling patterns. Text at the top reads "The Candle That Dreamed of Stars" and "It burned for a thousand years before anyone noticed it was dreaming." From the Serie Star-Witness by Isobel Blundell
